- rotate if needed each picture in *.jpg or *.xpm format like photos etc. and adapt her size without to lose resolution or fineness of details

- stick 2 or more pictures (1 picture left, 1 picture right, event. 1 third picture more right / 1 picture on top, 1 picture at the bottom / 1 big picture on top, 2 little pictures half and half at the bottom UNDER the big picture / 1 big picture on top, 2 little pictures half and half at the bottom IN the big picture) in a final big picture

- shrink the final picture to a high resolution picture with an exact size (3 inch x 2 inch) without to lose resolution

- shrink AFTER THAT the resolution to the admitted picture size of the upload system a/ according amount of pixel / b/ according max. size of kbyte

WITH mTpaint (or imagemagick if not possible only with mTpaint, not with gimp! but I am about certain that mTpaint can manage it!)

what is to do?

is that possible using a script to make it very often in the same kind (face to face photo of the person or animal or object, for ex. a bicycle / side photo left / side photo right)?

There is a side by side mtpaint thread.

image manipulation scripts take a while and effort to produce how many do you need to do._________________

mtpaint is traditionally stopped at version 3.31 but is still maintained .
Forum member don570 compiles mtpaint and attaches it in the forum .
Actually it seems that version-3.34.69 is out , but unfortunately i had freezes saving composite images with that version . I am using version-3.34.55 at the moment , that had been attached one year ago at mediafire.com , without probs so far .

So it is important to add the current version of mtpaint you are using , and where you got it from| with the compile options . The mtpaint-3.34.33 by technosaurus here also worked well without probs but seems not to have dotSVG support .

For the useabillity i must confess , that i learn nearly every day a little more about the language mtpaint|gimp speaks . For example look here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_compositing
I think it does not cover your problem atm , but may have additional links to read .
Also try to google for a gimp manual .

Inkscapelite really works good , dragging pictures into it and arrange them .
The menu structure is a medium little difficult to understand or would need a little bit of reworking ; ie "View > Size and Position" could be under "Object" and perhaps it could have a "Document" Main Menu Tab , export could have a filebrowser , saving composites of other formats than svg in "Plain SVG" crashes incskapelite , ....+...+... ...

People that use graphics progs jobwise will have no difficulties i think , but for average people mtpaint and inscapelite are not very easy intuitively to use and gimp is overloaded with its features , though i had read that gimp should be the best manipulating prog . the gimp i had encountered so far offer only +800% max zoom , so mtpaint or inkscapelite are much easier to use to create icons for example .

This is a courtesy email to let you guys know what
has happened with "Inkscape Lite". Awhile back I
received some help from this mail-list, to choose
an appropriate version of Inkscape for use in
Puppy Linux.

I chose v0.36, which was the last that used C, not
C++, and did not use GTKmm.
I made some very small mods to the source and the
result we named "InkscapeLite", or just "InkLite"
and it appeared in Puppy version 2.10 and now in
v2.11.

BASIC:
01 . open a mtpaint -version that supports .svg [ 3.31 does not ]
0.1.5 . copy the pics above into a directory lets call it /root/mtpaint/store
02 . drag the above pictures into the mtpaint window
03 . open MENUbar:VIEW>Show dock or Layers window
04 . move the default black "background" one up and cut it ( delete it )
05 . move the largest picture down to first layer=0
06 . give every pic a name there , to not being confused
07 . arrange the pics by clicking on them in the right part of the pics window and dragging them around
08 . move the pics to the best fitting layer position
09 . click on each pic would focus the pic in the left part of the pics window
10 . click on the MENUbar>Image and do whatever you want to do with the single pic|layer : scale,rotate,flip

Advanced:
11 . to double the little penguin i did this : MENUbar Selection>Select all , Copy , MENUbar Edit > Export clipboard to system , click the large penguin layer in the dock|layers window
12 . the large penguin would now show in the left part with the copied and exported little penguin
13 . move the little penguin around on the large penguin pic and right click to fixate it
14 . to get rid of the now not needed anymore clipboarded penguin
i use differnt methods : clicking the pencil icon , draw a little and click two times 'Undo' , so the drawing and second little penguin too much get undone [ frankly , i have no clue how to do it precisely , i am just ^RAM^ in this case without docs to read ]
15 . now i clicked on the little penguin single layer again and MENUbar Image>Flip horizontally and move this penguin around in the right panel to its desired place .
16 . now i clicked the house48 layer ; MENUbar Image>Free rotate=-28 and move it around .
17 . now i clicked the yellow house.svg layer ; MENUbar Image>Convert to indexed =256colors,PNN(slow,betterquality),Dither=None ; MENUbar Channels>Edit alpha ; click the color 0=zero in the palette and erase the yellow parts of the house covering the penguin with the pencil keeping right click of the mouse [ could need a brush here ] .
18 . I deleted a little more than necessary , and the color number shows in the bottom bar [0-256] while hovering over the pixel and i choose the color number in the palette with left clicking and fill the missing colors ; the zoom boxes help much
19 . now i click the bomb ; again MENUbar Image>Rotate Anti-clockwise & Scale Canvas as i like [ 16->120 ]
20 . finally arranging everything , moving the layers
21 . now saving : MENUbar Layers>Composite to new layer
22 . now saving really : the new layer will be on top in the layers-dock-window and be visible in the left part of mtpaint ; MENUbar >Save as
23 . Thats it
